placed on file:
Hon. Jas. Calkins, Mayor, and Gentlemen
of the Council:
AS TO the complaints of the Estey Mfg.
Co.'s lumber piled in Huron street, we
propose plan'which we pray may meet
with your approval, which we know is
safer and think it will serve the public in
terest far better; viz: We will arrange with
the r. II. Co. to notify us before sending
trains ON our siding and we will have a
fagman stationed on Michigan Ave-, so
long as the lumber remains there. 1t would
be necessary 10 survey the ground to find
the lines, which will be quite a trouble and
expense as well as large expense in the
moving of the lumber. We earnestly hope
this plan. as proposed, will not only salts
fly your honorable body but every citizen
Of Owosso who uses Michigan Ave.
Most Resp'y Yours,
EsTEY MFe. Co.,
ID. M. EsTEy.
